How
to Host a Roman Orgy
-
From the Shakespeare Eclectic Science Fiction Interactive Theatre. "There's
a lot more to throwing a good old-fashioned Roman revel than just draping
yourself in bedsheets and getting wild. The ancients took their fun seriously;
dinnertime debauchery was an art refined over the course of centuries,
from the relatively austere decadence of Tiberius in the first century
A.D. (naked waitresses) to the boundlessly inventive frolics of certain
third-century emperors (don't even ask)."

"For the last two years, Fiona and I have been cooking breakfast, lunch
and dinner for three legions down in Maryland at "Roman Days." 18-20 at
a time, with a Dutch oven, a large frying pan, and a two-burner Coleman
stove. Very little to wash, and very little 'perishables'." Recipes
make servings for 20.
